they dont do that. something else is killing your dialog, unless the system is killing your app (ie due to low available resources)

actually. maybe that doesn't make sense. hm. ill have to give that a shot. lmao

I know that we currently we can't save the state of WebView, but interestingly, when I use WebView in normal screen, put App in background and come back it doesn't refresh, unlike Dialog where it does refresh. So I was excepting the Dialog to re-create. I still don't understand why the normal screen wouldn't refresh, tho. Please let me know if you have an idea. 🙏
